When we walked to the city gate, there was a group of officials waiting at the gate to greet us.
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Greetings, my lord!"
"Greetings, my lord!"
At this time, civil servants came forward to pay homage to Tao one after another. Among them were general magistrates, transfer envoys, inspection envoys, and other officials, big and small. There were about a hundred people in total who came to pay homage.
According to the unspoken rules, if you come to greet the superior, the superior may not remember you; but if you don’t come to greet the superior, the superior will definitely remember you.
"Hello everyone, something happened on the road and I was delayed for a while!" Li Mu said.
Tong Juan stepped forward and said: "We know that your Excellency is helping Beihuang Hou build the river dam!"
Li Mu stepped forward to say hello. Although Li Mu did not recognize them, it did not prevent him from being humble and polite. Many officials also returned the greetings.
Being a human being is an art. You may not even remember someone's name, but some people are extremely grateful to you.
Just like Mr. Fujino and Lu Xun, Lu Xun never forgot this teacher and was grateful for his hard work. But Mr. Fujino said, have I ever taught this student? Finally, after thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that I once taught a not very good student.
excellent student.
As a leader, Li Mu only roughly remembers the names of some officials, and may forget them after a while, but he must leave people with a feeling of being refreshed, humble and polite.
After saying hello, Li Mu said goodbye to everyone and went to the mansion to rest.
Many officials also dispersed and went to connect with each other, thinking about what gifts to give to the new leader at night.
If a subordinate gives a gift to his boss, the boss may not remember it, but if the subordinate does not give a gift, the boss will definitely remember it.
Returning to the government office, the outside of the government office is a bit shabby, as if it has not been repaired for more than ten years; but inside, it is full of carved beams and painted buildings, luxurious and elegant, solemn and solemn.
Understated yet luxurious.
The poor are just the opposite, high-profile yet poor.
You may drive a luxury car, wear a famous watch, and eat steak outside, but you may go home and eat steamed buns and drink porridge.
"How did Zhizhou Zhao Tianmu die?"
Li Mu said, looking at the terrain here, he said: "The Zhizhou Mansion is just a small fortress. There are three hundred guards guarding it, and three masters are sitting here... Even the great master is not easy to take action. In addition, I feel a
There is a breath of heavenly beings...the heavenly beings are monitoring the entire city all the time, and it is impossible for ordinary heavenly beings to take action!"
The government office has strict measures to prevent assassination by enemies.
There are guards on the periphery for defense, there are grandmasters standing guard, there are great masters for defense, there are heavenly beings monitoring it, and there are also secret rooms to hide in. It can be said that the defense is tight.
Hua Wuying said: "Zhao Tianmu died of heart disease!"
"Heart disease!"
Li Mu frowned slightly, "According to the intelligence, Zhao Tianmu was born with perfect nature and had a strong body. How could he die from a heart disease?"
"Why not!"
Hua Wuying said: "As long as the innate warrior is stronger, he will catch colds, get old, and suffer from various diseases. According to the intelligence, Zhao Tianmu was fine when he had dinner at night, but the next day, he was fine.
He has lost his breath and is already dead!"
"Afterwards, after inspection by many experts, Zhao Tianmu did not have any wounds. He did not die from a sharp weapon. There was no sign of poisoning on his body, nor was there any sign of being injured by a warrior. In the end, it was concluded that he died of a heart disease!"
"Everything was calm originally. The body had been put into the coffin and it was about to be buried. Something went wrong!"
"A servant under Zhao Tianmu, who is my secret agent of the Xuanjing Division, discovered something unusual while sorting out the relics..."
Hua Wuying said hello, and immediately a maid came over carrying a box.
This box is three feet three in length, one and a half feet in width, and two feet in height. It is made of high-quality black steel. There is an exquisite lock with seven holes on the outside, which is equivalent to a password box.
At this moment, the box is open.
It seems that Xuan Jingsi opened it.
Li Mu opened the box and saw some gold inside, which seemed extremely inconspicuous.
"There's something wrong with this box!"
Li Mu said: "No, there is a mezzanine!"
The mezzanine is very narrow, it is just a thin layer, and it is extremely tight. If you don't look carefully at the difference between the inside and outside, you really can't tell.
Open the mezzanine and put some silver tickets and gold tickets inside, all in bearer form.
It only recognizes gold and silver notes, but not people. It can be used to launder money, transfer it perfectly, and protect some people's secrets.
Li Mu looked through these banknotes and gold notes, and suddenly a letter appeared. The content of the letter was about 500 words. It was written by Zhao Tianmu, saying that if one day he was killed, he was killed by someone, and he also mentioned the suspicion.
people……
Just looking at the suspect, Li Mu's scalp was numb.
The suspects in the letter involve senior officials above the seventh level in Youzhou, as well as other forces, etc. If it really continues, it will be a big purge and a big blood change.
"What do you think of the content of the letter?"
Q&A with Li Mu.
"Half is true, half is false!" Hua Wuying said: "The only thing that is certain is that Zhao Tianmu was also dragged into the water! I also suspect that the secret agent of Xuanjing Division may have been exposed. With the help of the agent, he took this
Pass the letter to us!”
Li Mu fell silent, thinking about the case.
Secret agents of the Xuanjing Division are located everywhere, monitoring officials everywhere.
Many secret agents are not martial arts masters, but just ordinary people. Or to a certain extent, ordinary people are their main job, and the secret agent position is a part-time job.
Many officials also knew that there might be spies from the Xuanjing Division around them, so they chose to remain silent.
"Don't you know, Your Majesty?" Li Mu asked.
"Your Majesty also knows something about the border issues, but you don't know how serious the problem is!" Hua Wuying said: "Your Majesty is very busy, busy with other big things. Relatively speaking, border smuggling, arms smuggling, and land grabbing by military officers, etc.
Wait, it’s just a small thing!”
"When doing things, you have to prioritize them. In our eyes, they may be big problems... but in His Majesty's eyes, they are just small things!"
Li Muchao: "The pattern is different, but we can see that the problems are also different! From this letter, we can infer that Zhao Tianmu did not die of natural causes. The so-called death of heart disease is just superficial... On a deeper level, it may be
He was killed!"
"Who do you think the murderer is?"
Hua Wuying said: "Generally speaking, even if an official harms the interests of some groups, they rarely kill officials. When encountering some officials who are disobedient, there are mainly three methods, one is direct corruption, and the other is direct corruption.
Transfer away, one is to frame and slander, kill them indirectly!"
"There seems to be something wrong with such violence, but if I think about it carefully, I can't think of anything?"
Li Mu was silent, thinking about the puzzle.
Corrupt officials have nothing more than four killer moves to deal with honest officials. One is direct corruption. For example, to deal with Qi Tongwei,
One is to transfer directly. For example, Li Dakang refused to join in the mischief, so he was transferred directly;
There are also direct slanders, such as slander against Hou Liangping.
As for killing him directly, this is the fourth move.
But it's also very extreme.
For example, a car directly hit Chen Hai.
But because of this, the problem became bigger.
Originally, the emperor knew a thing or two about border affairs and Youzhou issues, but he was busy with other matters and had no time to pay attention to them for the time being.
But when Zhao Tianmu was assassinated, the emperor had to take action.
"The only explanation is that there is not enough time... we must take action!"
Li Mu suddenly said, "It seems that Zhao Tianmu is going to smash the plate. They don't have much time and must take action!"
